Safety

SAPELEM is very concerned regarding safety matter. Check for the following rules: Safety factor Material Dynamic forces Vertical handling Altitude Operating principle of a suction cup Suction cup is activated by pressure difference between inside (vacuum) and outside (atmospheric). Suction cup is thus able to lift few grams to several tons in accordance with its diameter. Units: 1 atm = 1,013 bar = 1013 mbar 1daN/cm² 101,3 kPa 760 mmhg
